In today’s society the need for safe bio-containment systems is increasingly important. This is especially true in the sterilization process where standard autoclaves cannot deal with the threat posed by harmful pathogens and other contaminated materials that are emitted from BSL3/4 laboratories.
Tuttnauer is at the front lines, continuously creating new standards in the field of bio containment. With years of experience in the market, Tuttnauer produces reliable and safe bio- containment systems.
The Tuttnauer range of BSL autoclaves is designed to meet stringent Bio Safety Level requirements for BSL3 and BSL4 facilities. These include a hermetically sealed barrier between the different risk level zones and effective sterilization and disposal of all effluent and gases.
Special autoclave design consideration is given to:
Autoclave and piping components
Biological seal (Bio-shield)
Effluent sterilization cycle
Filter sterilization
Safety valves and expansion vessel
Specifically designed for use with steam systems that demand the highest safety conditions. 316L grade stainless steel is used for the chamber, piping and fittings. The inner chamber walls have a mirror like polished finish (Ra < 0.4μm) to create a smooth surface.
CHAMBER DRAIN VALVE AREA
The chamber drain valve area is the coldest spot in the chamber. Tuttnauer BSL autoclaves resolve this problem by applying steam directly to the chamber drain valve area.
HOT-WELL
The hot-well is a stainless steel water reservoir in which the feed water is heated to 80-90°C prior to entering the steam generator. The hot-well facilitates the removal of non-condensable gases.
